The Premier Mine is an underground diamond mine owned by De Beers that is situated in the town of Cullinan, 40 kilometers east of Pretoria, Gauteng Province, South Africa.

Established in 1902, it was renamed the Cullinan Diamond Mine in November 2003 in celebration of its centenary.

The mine rose to prominence in 1905, when the Cullinan Diamond - the largest gem diamond ever - was discovered here.
